Sr Engineer

Start Date: 2006-08-01End Date: 2011-02-01

Under both LTG Zahner and Lt Gen Koziol participated in the weekly monitoring of the acquisition and implementation of Project Liberty. Prior to that, supported the Science Advisor, Steve Long, on the specifications of the cameras to be used on the Liberty aircraft. Created an Open Forum for ISR Task Force leadership where new technologies from Government and Industry were invited to present their concepts to the ISR Task Force Leads. These technologies encompassed SIGINT, GEOINT, fused Multi-INT capabilities, technical collection and tasking, HUMINT and emerging technologies such as GMTI (VADER), LIDAR, hyperspectral, NETISR, MAINGATE, HART and QUINT. Assessment of these technologies included whether they were viable in the short term (i.e., 90 days to six months), longer term (i.e., six months to 18 months), or were technologies that had a longer timeframe than the scope of the ISR Task Force. Have an in-depth understanding of the current ISR programs, platforms, communications and networks as well as future directions for ISR. Coordinated and supported Information Sharing and Collaboration IPT weekly IPT/VTC meetings with IC, DoD (both CONUS and OCONUS) stakeholders as well as in-theater (including Coalition) organizations. Developed relationships and worked with various organizations including the National Security Space Office (NSSO), MDA, STRATCOM, NATO and coalition partners, in particular 4-Eyes representatives to OUSD(I). Supported projects for multi-national as well as cross-domain and multi-level security aspects to ISR (tasking, collection, processing, exploitation and dissemination – TCPED) particularly as regards information sharing and collaboration. Tracked and coordinated inputs on information sharing and collaboration initiatives from requirements to budget and implementation (e.g., DCGS and DI2E). Supported the planning, programming, budgeting and implementation processes for all ISC funded ISRTF initiatives.

SETA Support to ONIR Executive Agent

Start Date: 2006-08-01End Date: 2008-09-01

Primary responsibility for facilitating communication between the ONIR Executive Agent (EA) and the ONIR National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG) Community by developing the ONIR Working Group (Note: subsequently ONIR was renamed to OPIR). Developed a forum between the NSG and key components (KCs) of NGA, representing the ONIR Functional Manager. Participated in the planning for the ONIR ground and space architectures to assure the DoD and IC requirements and needs in the short and long-term are addressed by NGA. Was the primary facilitator in the development and analysis for the Consolidated ONIR Architecture Modernization Program (COAMP); working with Seniors from Services and the IC to develop recommendations for both ground based as well as space based improvements to the OPIR system. COAMP involved Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (ITW/AA) system both to understand how it worked and how to avoid changes which would violate ITWAA early warning requirements. COAMP furthered the use of ground and space-based systems both for tactical and strategic intelligence and made recommendations for improvement in both ground based and space based systems including communication systems. Developed the initial outline and draft of the COAMP final report. This document is viewed as a touchstone document for OPIR. Many of the system and platform improvements contained in the COAMP final report and recommendations formed the basis of continuing OPIR improvements. Coordinated and facilitated meetings with representatives of IC and DoD on various MASINT/GEOINT-related issues. Worked closely with the IC and DoD, developing an in-depth understanding of the two communities’ commonalities and differences as regards tactical and strategic requirements and constraints as well as impact of policy on the implementation of new programs and sensors.
